It rained overnight and the roads are wet, we also celebrated a bit too much. Trying to drag myself out to ride, but this coffee is too good.

New saddle is fantastic. First 10 miles were a mix between pleasure and pain. Every time I was about to stop to make an adjustment it would start to feel good. At the 10 mile mark I lowered it another degree, and fhat made a world of difference. thanks

I felt like Velo Vol or Bah Humbug this morning - it was a chilly 55° and I wasn't planning on keeping my HR much higher than 100, so I donned my thermal knickers and a LS thermal jersey. Brrrrr.

I can’t even imagine what 55 feels like right now. Heat index over 105 again today.

Coffee is barely helping this morning.
Trying to decide what's the lesser of two evils, tossing and turning all night or a groggy melatonin hangover.

Not that gross here, but we've been a pretty consistent 70°/85-90° for a while now.
We had a 60° low this morning when I was off to work, but it was already sunny and humid so it certainly didn't feel that way.
